As an individual with a penchant for detail, I was not disappointed with Charles McDonald's tale of Wolfgang Steiner's journey. His descriptions of the changes in nature that come with each season were written with exceptional accuracy. Additionally, the plot was suspenseful and left me wanting to finish the book without putting it down. The historical accuracy of people, places and events written of in the novel was a nice treat. McDonald's affection for the outdoors does not go unnoticed in this novel. I'd definitely recommend The War Trail to anyone who craves adventure and loves the Great Outdoors.

I had a hard time putting this book down. Charles's protrayal of the country side was exellent. It made me feel like I was there. The story
was historically correct with many small details added in to create intrest in the charactors. You can tell Charles has spent time in the woods as he makes his charactors aware of all the little sights and sounds that are missed by most people. I would recommend this book to any one who like outdoor adventure.

We're honored to carry The War Trail in our store, Allegheny Archers. I am very pleased to have read this wonderful adventure. Mr. McDonalds depiction of the books characters and surrounding landscapes are spectacular. This novel held my interest from cover to cover and left me wanting more. If you are looking for adventure, intrigue and suspence in your next book, I highly recommend "The War Trail". Bravo, Mr. McDonald.

I thoroughly enjoyed, The War Trail! I found it exciting, suspenseful and quite educational. Mr. McDonald artfully paints a beautiful picture with his descriptive narrative. In my minds eye I almost felt as if I were watching a movie as I read. I was disapointed when I finished the book as I enjoyed it so much. I look forward to future work from Charles A. McDonald. Well done!

This book unleashed the scents of the landscape each time I dove in. Made me think of how accurate one must be to survive in such primitive times. Any mistake may take your life. Wolfgangs love came from some very hidden place. His wolf and companion Darkmoon impressed me as gifts from his God to honor his worthiness. I do recommend this book to all who want a Historic Journey.

The War Trail is a compelling and graphic read. Mr. McDonald has a keen sense of detail and historic accuracy that blends history, fiction, and certainly real experience in his work. If you read this book you want to know more about the author himself,as it leaves one with the sense that he has worn the shoes of the protagonist. When is the next book coming out?

Though not the genre I typically read, I thoroughly enjoyed The War Trail. The author's attention to detail brought every scene to life, and made me feel that I was walking the woods of a part of the country that I love. It would have been marvelous to see it in those early years, when it was still wild and empty! I loved the vivid descriptions of Indian life and traditions, and felt that I learning as well as being entertained. Can't wait for the sequel!

As hunter among wilderness animals and as survivor in a humans' world - Indians and Europeans - in which mistakes are often fatal, McDonald's Wolfgang conveys the sensation of being stalked and of stalking. The reader senses this author speaks from experience. Hunters, gun collectors and nature lovers will envy the virile Wolfgang. Historians will travel comfortably in his head. After reading the book, it struck me that while I was immersed in the intense adventures, between the lines Wolfgang and the equally indomitable Indian woman, Dark Moon, were consummating a powerful love story. I heartily recommend "The War Trail."
